"beauty is in the details...

and the details are everywhere"

I am a professional mixed-media artist, fine art photographer and entrepreneur.

I have always pursued a very intuitive approach to creative expression. I work in layers, technically, intellectually and spiritually. The result is tempered by the use of materials and filtered through my personal distillation of the world around us. I truly believe that making art is a spiritual process whereby we allow our faith and the integrity of the materials we use to combine and reveal new visual relationships beyond our imagination.

“The making of art is a creative journey which challenges all that we know and all that we have yet to discover.”

Much of my inspiration is derived from nature where I find inexhaustible resources for color, texture and composition. I love the visual interactions and relationships that exist in design, in nature, in all things. I am particularly attracted to textures, patterns and reflections, colors and the interplay of light and shadow. 

My hope is that my imagery will excite the viewer and spark imaginative thought.

My work has been recognized with numerous awards and can be found in many private collections.

Enjoy, and thank you for visiting!
